  1. Introverted Nurse

    mpgj83 posted a topic in Nursing Career

    I think many people perceive nursing to require (or at least prefer) an outgoing, lively personality. But I tend to be much more mellow, subdued, and introverted. I like people, but I can best handle...

  2. Hiring new grads without interviewing them in person?

    mpgj83 posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    So first, a lengthy intro about my situation.. I am a US citizen with a BSN degree from the Philippines. I'm still in the Philippines and am applying to various boards of nursing to take the NCLEX. So...

  3. When to start MSN program after BSN?

    mpgj83 posted a topic in Post Graduate Students

    Let me preface by saying I am a foreign grad and am still in the process of sitting in for the NCLEX, but I'm curious...for those interested in advancing their BSNs to masters degrees, when is the...

  4. Concurrency and Deficiency - What do these entail exactly?

    mpgj83 posted a topic in Nurse Registration

    So I'm still in the process of applying to CA BRN and am already anticipating that the concurrency and MS/OB-deficiency issues will also be obstacles for me. Call me crazy but I'm going to try anyway....

  5. Concurrency and Deficiency - What do these entail exactly?

    mpgj83 replied to mpgj83's topic in Nurse Registration

    So I spoke with my dean recently. The concurrency issue apparently has been a big agenda topic during their ADPCN meetings of late. I'm not really sure what they're planning to do about it but it...

  6. Any advantages of Philippine nursing?

    mpgj83 posted a topic in General World

    For Philippine BSN grads now working in the US, or for anyone who has experience working with them, is there anything that makes these people unique in any way compared to their US-trained colleagues?...

    You all have excellent points. Thank you.

  8. Foreign BSN, US citizen, no work history--employable in NY?

    mpgj83 posted a topic in New York Nursing

    I'm a recent Philippine BSN graduate and am looking to apply for NY licensure by examination. The application is still pending and it will be a longgg wait. I'm still in the Philippines, but if I...

  9. Foreign BSN, US citizen, no work history--employable in NY?

    mpgj83 replied to mpgj83's topic in New York Nursing

    That will be a while, since I'm still in the Philippines haha. But if and when I do, I'll do just that! Thanks!

  10. NCLEX F.A.Q.S 2013 update for PiNOY nurses

    mpgj83 replied to roperlogantierney's topic in Nurse Registration

    Ah ok so it means that you are endorsing a US RN license but had foreign education. Thanks,

  11. NO Copy of CLinical CAses- Applying for NCLEX-Cali

    mpgj83 replied to Irah0526's topic in Nurse Registration

    I think the documents about your cases are what CA BRN will use to determine if your theory and clinicals are concurrent. I know cases are not necessarily the same as clinicals but that's a different...

    mpgj83 replied to mpgj83's topic in New York Nursing

    Only an excellent nurse could reply so therapeutically! You must be a gem in the field. Even the username is telling. Thank you, one1morestep..

  13. El Camino New Grad

    mpgj83 replied to skp27's topic in California Nursing

    Is this El Camino, California? If so, you should post this in the California

  14. NCLEX F.A.Q.S 2013 update for PiNOY nurses

    mpgj83 replied to roperlogantierney's topic in Nurse Registration

    I was reading through the IL application packet and was off-put because of the note on page 5 saying, "Excelsior College is an unapproved nursing education program in the State of Illinois due to the...

  15. Concurrency and Deficiency - What do these entail exactly?

    mpgj83 replied to mpgj83's topic in Nurse Registration

    I was under the impression that most Phil grads started being denied if you graduated 2009 or later? When did CA BRN start becoming strict

  16. Foreign BSN, no work experience. Employable in CA?

    mpgj83 posted a topic in California Nursing

    Let me preface by saying that reading through some of the posts on here about a lot of new local grads and even experienced nurses looking for jobs in CA kind of makes me hesitant and ashamed to ask,...

  17. NCLEX application in NY for NON-US applicants.

    mpgj83 replied to nehgarcia's topic in Nurse Registration

    There's a section in the NYSED application that asks for your local license

  18. Foreign BSN, no work experience. Employable in CA?

    mpgj83 replied to mpgj83's topic in California Nursing

    I hope so! Thank you

  19. Foreign BSN, no work experience. Employable in CA?

    mpgj83 replied to mpgj83's topic in California Nursing

    Yeah, I'm aware that even getting that ATT will be very difficult. I guess I'm not anticipating to get my ATT any time soon, much less work as an RN, but I'd really like to start working even as a CNA...

  20. Concurrency and Deficiency - What do these entail exactly?

    mpgj83 replied to mpgj83's topic in Nurse Registration

    Yeah I've read through those articles and they're pretty depressing for those of us foreign grads with legitimate credentials. About 5 years ago I had a cousin with a Philippine BSN and who had...

  21. Paying for Course syllabus?

    mpgj83 replied to QueenAnnissa's topic in General Students

    My course syllabus was around the equivalent of 34USD. It's a little more detailed than the syllabi we get for each class at the beginning of each semester, and printed on better quality paper. It's...

  22. Concurrency and Deficiency - What do these entail exactly?

    mpgj83 replied to mpgj83's topic in Nurse Registration

    Yeah I tallied those units and hours earlier, and correct me if I am wrong but it seems like per every area of nursing they are required 18 hours of theory and 54 hours of duty. We exceed that in the...

  23. Concurrency and Deficiency - What do these entail exactly?

    mpgj83 replied to mpgj83's topic in Nurse Registration

    Yes! My biggest hunch is that when an applicant submits documentation of oncall duty, CA BRN thinks we have theory in one semester, and then duties in between semesters or during the following one....

  24. Concurrency and Deficiency - What do these entail exactly?

    mpgj83 replied to mpgj83's topic in Nurse Registration

    Thank you for your very thoughtful input, steppybay! You're very well informed about these issues and I really appreciate your time in replying to me. =) My original queries still stand, however....

    mpgj83 replied to ladyniavi's topic in General World

    Thank you JustBeachyNurse. I've come by one too many posts that implied otherwise, so I've been confused. Maybe I've just misunderstood. Thank you.
